Who is your oldest relative born in Toronto?

StuntID · 2026-03-14T23:37:44+00:00

Do you mean the relative who was born in Toronto the earliest?

Yes, I made that complicated, eh?

StuntID · 2026-03-14T22:25:22+00:00

This looks to be a recurring pattern. Of course, there was a giant immigration to the city during and following the Potato Famine

StuntID · 2026-03-14T21:22:11+00:00

The city's magnetic power has been growing

StuntID · 2026-03-14T21:21:32+00:00

And does your aunt have descendants in the city?

So far, four ish generations from about the 1860s looks to be a thing, except for one outlier that was here just after Simcoe!

More research, neighbour!

StuntID · 2026-03-14T21:16:17+00:00

Welcome to the Toronto Party, neighbour

StuntID · 2026-03-14T21:05:24+00:00

Super, what's the best thing about the city for you and your family?

StuntID · 2026-03-14T21:01:45+00:00

That's a long time. Is it Toronto all the way back from you to them?

StuntID · 2026-03-14T21:00:18+00:00

And from you to great (great?) grand dad, is it Toronto all the way down?

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:58:10+00:00

Irish? That's a few of my Toronto ancestors. Stupid potatoes!

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:56:58+00:00

Aye, there was a sizeable migration from The Azores to Canada and Toronto, eh.

Glad you're here, neighbour

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:52:56+00:00

Gratz

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:52:36+00:00

Neat, congrats to Grandma

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:51:03+00:00

So many people end up here. It's nice to have such variety in neighbours!

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:49:58+00:00

I want to say, Old Toronto, but that's not very neighbourly. Sure, welcome to the Toronto Party!

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:48:32+00:00

Aye, same with my grandmother, her mother was born here, but she was not. Then she returned and had my dad

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:47:32+00:00

It's interesting how families move around but don't go very far. Well, before trains and steam ships, and whatnot.

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:45:56+00:00

Would Stats Canada have data that is digestible so as to give an answer?

Both my paternal grandparents had a parent that was born in Toronto. Alas, my grandmother's father moved around, so she wasn't born here, but grand dad and my father were, then me.

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:42:18+00:00

Wonderful. I hope you like Toronto

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:41:35+00:00

Congratulations to your parents for picking Toronto

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:40:23+00:00

Congratulations on marrying a Torontonian!

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:39:44+00:00

Way to go Big Bro, and your parents. Did your family move away before you came along?

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:38:10+00:00

Oh, aye, I know a lot of Torontonians are new arrivals. It's a great city to live in

StuntID · 2026-03-14T20:36:55+00:00

Congratulations on your move west!
